After years of investigation and millions of dollars as well as continual hounding by the press and the left who saw a chance for blood in the Bush White House the truth now is revealed concerning who Bob Novacs source was concerning Valerie Plame. No it wasn't Karl Rove the White House staffer that the media and the left was drooling over and no it was not , "Scooter, " Libby who resigned as the Vice President's Chief of Staff because of an indictment handed down that had nothing to do with the Plame investigation but with Libby's inability to consistantly remember EVERY detail of conversations that had taken place months before and the chronological chain of events that again took place months before, like who could ? It turns out that the source was none other than assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage who was known as a member of the State Department to disagree with much of the Bush Foreign policy therefore not a political hack who was out to get Plames husband Joe Wilson and a well known Washington gossip who has never known how to keep his mouth shut! Has anyone noticed the , "extensive, " media coverage that this is getting ? Amazingly and not surprisingly this story which was released yesterday by Newsweek and MSNBC, ( liberals all, so obviously not coming from a conservative view point to cover for the administration), has been invisible in the media. Now those of you on the left will say it is because it is a non story. Granted the Plame ordeal has been played to death and inspite of the liberal medias best efforts has not affected the White House with the public. But the distinction here is that now there is proof that the witch hunt for someone in the Bush administration was just that a political witch hunt and not a justified investigation since the Federal prosecuter, Fitzgerald, new all along that Armitage was the source as revealed in the story yet the media ignores this revelation. Could that be because it actually gives a certain amount of vindication to Rove and Libby as well as the VP and others in the White House who have been accused and hounded as if they were under criminal investigation and the verdict had already been handed down ? Could it be that now that the leak turns out to be Armitage from State and not someone from the Bush White House Valerie Plames bogus civil suite no longer holds any credence since it is now proven to be filed under false pretences ? Could it be that this whole fiasco is now an embarassment to the left because they had based their hopes on this investigation causing the collapse of the Bush administration and possibly even the resignation of the President ? Could it be that it is obvious now that this whole case and the time and dollars that it took was just another in a line of liberal attempts to attack the Bush administration unjustifiably ? Or could it be all of the above ? As usual the left and the media will never admit when they are wrong nor will they admit that they have and will continue to use any and all means to undermine this President and through false accusation try to destroy his Presidency. Now that the truth is revealed all that is left is that one man, "Scooter, "Libby will spend thousands of dollars defending himself against charges that should have not been filed in the first place and a distinquished career of public service has been ended. Congrats to the left, the media and the prosecutor for , "a job well done!" Yeah right!

I am guessing they are following the Rather handbook of just because our evidence proves nothing, means nothing; it still happened. I don’t know whether they don’t want to cover it because they look so stupid or because they are still believing that “sealed arrest warrant” for Rove is to be opened tomorrow.

Or of course it is because they are waiting for a headline story like “Massive success and improvement in Iraq, leading to minimal violence” as an opportune time to instead cover wall to wall the “failures or journalism regarding the Plame case.”

Who knows what in God’s green earth they are thinking, but a falsehood of a story was spun and highlighted substantiated by no facts that just wasted time and money. Bye-bye Joe and Val. 15 minutes is up. (Well I guess until they get out the eraser and sue the State Department instead of the White House.)

OK, so Armitage is a rat. I am not clear why you are celebrating the fact that it was another high-level Bush political appointee (Armitage) that was the original source of the leak that led to the outing of a NOC agent.

The State Department is part of the Executive Branch and the Secretary of State and the Deputy Sec of State are political appointees. Bush nominated Armitage for his position and he was a part of the President's National Security Council.

The fact also remains that Rove was Novak's second source for his story. Rove also passed info on to Matt Cooper.

As for Libby, he passed on the name of Valerie Plame to Judith Miller and others.

I would love to see the press discuss the case further because I think it is an important story. It also illustrates the complete lack of control Bush has in his White House. It also shows that Bush's top advisors are more interested in poltics than national security.

Rob, Just a little additional info about Armitage. First he was a hold over from before Bush and the only reason he stayed on at State was because he sevred under Powell in Vietnam and Powell wanted him as a hard nose at State. He has been well known to be one who disagrees with Bush policy both Bush 41 and 43. He was under investigation for several things during the Reagan adminsitration so he has been a hold over at State for quite some time.

By the way your insistance that her initial, "outing, " was by the Novac article always neglects to mention that her husband mentioned her status in his book which was out before the Novac piece and she was compromised twice before as long ago as eight years. She had not been covert for at least five years before the Novac piece therefore her identity was not considered classified.

MD, I think that Plame and Wilson will still try to milk their 15 minutes and this may be one reason why the media and the left is ignoring this story about Armitage so that when the suit filed by Plame/Wilson goes to court they can make it headline worthy since the truth about the true source was never given much play. This way when a suit against the VP and Rove goes to court they can rehash this lie once again for another attempt at political advantage with the Plame story.

You are completely misinformed about Armitage. He was in the private sector before joining the Bush administration, including a part of the neocon Project for the New American Century.

Armitage and Condi were the two key folks in Bush's foreign policy advisement group during the 2000 presidential campaign.

What Wilson book are you referring to? "The Politics of Truth" was published in April 2004. Novak's column appeared in July 2003. Are you referring to some other book.

Plame was not known to be an undercover CIA agent at the time she was outed. Read Section "f" of the original indictment of Libby. http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/osc/documents/libby_indictment_28102005.pdf#search=%22Fitzgerald%20Indictment%20of%20Libby%22

Given how many factual errors you have in your response, you should reconsider where you are getting your info. Please don't tell me you are relying on Rush or Hannity to tell you the truth. Do a little verification on your own.

I stopped caring about this case long ago, just about the time when Bush said the infamous line of bullshit about how he'd fire anyone in his administration involved in it. Yeah, right. Gee, they weren't found guilty of anything, so they must be OK. Well, that's just crap. Rove, Cheney, Libby, they all behaved with the same caliber of ethics and integrity as any other Republican in Washington -- non-existent. Conservatives are sqwaking about the waste of taxpayer dollars? Ha! They frosted that cake with the Clinton Witch-hunt. Ken, this whole case only illustrates one thing to the American people -- how far conservatives will go to cover up, deny, obfuscate, and lie.

Stopped caring is just a copout for not having the backbone to stand up for America and the threat to that country. Don't bother thinking about the future as long you can watch the God Warrior have meltdowns on national TV on Trading Spouses.

When is it going to be enough to wake up to the facts that are being told by the John Hagee's or the Jack Van Impe's of the world to realize that their will be sirens blowing and missles flying as people stand out in their front yards stunned stiff watching Mushrooms sprout up in their own country called America.

When is it going to be enough that name calling. Bashing Bush, attacking troops over seas that are defending your country doesn't get you far!! I tell you the Day liberals stop attacking Conservative republican is the day America Gets invaded by a foriegn Government. And to think that governmenr is going to be democrated is PURE ignorance. PURE stupidity
